8 Indications That Reveal A Big Movie Is Going To Bomb At The B-O

Hits and flops are an integral part of any Bollywood celebs career. If it’s a big banner movie expectation is sky high and with big names associated with it makes it even higher. No doubt, a lot is riding on when a big flick is in the making and god forbid if it miss-fires upon its release all hopes come crashing down. Every filmmaker believes that he has a winner on hand before the film goes on floors but during the making, the cast and crew do get a feeling that it’s not happening the way it was conceived. This often leads to the final product turning out to be a big let-down for the audiences. So, how can one judge whether or not a big flick is a big no-no before its release? Here, we analyze eight indications which confirm that a biggie is going to crash at the box-office before its release.

1. Differences and controversies while filming

Once a big release with a big star cast is announced and gets underway, the social and electronic media become the mouthpiece for the flick. Each and every update of the movie is posted especially when there’s a difference of opinion or controversy that crops up during the making between the cast or crew. Statements and denials given by the cast and crew start doing the rounds then there’s something to worry about.

2. Continuous delay of release

Differences of opinion, reshooting of some scenes, dissatisfaction from other cast or crew members often leads to losing interest in the film. Thus, postponement of release date. A continuous delay in release might just give an indication to the audiences that the makers are not confident of their final product.

3. Trailer and its lukewarm response

The trailer often decides whether the audiences willmake it or not to the theatres or wait for it to premiere on one of the TVchannels. An unimpressive trailer which draws a lot of flak from film criticsand pundits might just work as a turn off for the film too. The trolls andreviews that a trailer receives from all quarters can often be the decidingfactor for its opening.

4. Over reliance of Computer Graphic's

Indian audiences still prefer clean visuals sanscomputer graphics in the film. They prefer minimal CG effects in scenes if atall it is necessary. An overdose of CG’s in the trailers and promos might justserve as a no-no for many unless and until done in an aesthetic manner whichmay look natural on screen.

5. Lackluster promos including songs

Teasers, trailers and song promos set the tone for thefilm before its release. Intriguing promos and songs do guarantee a hugeinitial at times but if nothing novel is offered to the watchers then the filmis done. Negative responses and reviews can lead to the undoing of the upcomingrelease.

6. Absence of lead stars during promotions

A big setback for any filmmaker before the release of his/her film is when the star cast dis-associate themselves from the promotions. The stars are considered as the face of their film and if they go missing it may spell doom for the film. Stars disassociating themselves continuously from promotional events go to show the writing on the wall.

7. Body language of stars during promotions

Another indication of the film turning a damp squibmay be by gauging the body language of stars and makers. Whether they areexcited or not about their film are easily evident during their promotions andinterviews. The mundane answers they provide to the questions are enough proofof them going through the formalities as a part of their film contract.

8. Stars on to their next film

Probably, the biggest cue that a movie-buff can get before a biggie release is that the male lead has already started shooting for his next biggie. Often it’s been observed that big stars suddenly start shooting for their next which means he very well knows that his soon-to-be-released flick is going to bomb at the box-office and needs to deliver a hit immediately in order to stay in the race.
